MADISONVILLE-After nearly two years, a Madisonville is scheduled to go on trial today for allegedly killing a man while allegedly stealing his car.

But Ralph Hunt has had trials scheduled before.

Hunt was scheduled to go on trial October in the 2011 killing of Gerald Strickland, but it was called off after the state couldn't get the medical examiner in court. The trial was postponed in May after a detective couldn't make it due to a family illness.

Judge Amy Reedy wasn't happy with the state last October, saying they should have called and made sure everybody was on board instead of sending out subpoenas and hoping everybody got them.

Hunt's attorney asked that his bond be lowered from $1,253,000 to $250,000, but Reedy denied the request.
